Okay, since we're getting a new store soon, this thread will be for discussing store things. I can't think of a more interesting way to put it.

First matter of discussion: Colored shirts with logos on them. Assuming we had a white/gray-text logo - what should the background be? Shaun wants the logo to be on a blue rectangle background (like the blue style) - with the rest of the shirt being a different color (white, red, green, whatever).

I just think the shirt's color should be the same all the way around, even under the logo.

Hey, that is such a cool idea. Say, have you heard of cafepress.com? It a place were you can make your own logos and stuff and sell them on tons of different things. I don't exactly know how it works but Pibs said that you can do it.

I would totally buy something!

Sorry for the outburst, but I want this post to be noticed. No-one is going to walk around with boring shirts like this. You gotta liven it up a bit. Make shirts with snappy phrases that relate to writing. For example, satirical jokes on cliches, bragging that the person wearing the shirt understands big words etc.

THAT'S the kind of stuff you should be aiming for. Also, seeing as doing this wouldn't help the site, do what all sites that are selling merchandise do: put the site address underneath the logo, phrase etc.

Oh, believe, me, we're definitely going to be doing phrases. The issue was the background behind the logo (and possibly the phrase).

Wasn't there a thread for phrase suggestions somewhere?

EDIT: Nevermind, that was an old thread. You'll probably see one for merchandise phrases soon.

Midnight_Moon: We're going to use Zazzle for our store. It offers more flexibility (unlimited types of shirts, for example) than Cafepress. Unfortunately, though, it does not sell notebooks or the like. And the only kind of book Cafepress sells are small journals.
